Minnesota House Candidate Runs Controversial Ad using Racial Slur

A man running for a Minnesota House seat has faced controversy after releasing an ad in which he refers to himself using a racial slur.

Kyle Greene, who identifies himself as of mixed race, is running as an independent for a central Minnesota district. “I want to be your state representative, I want to be your public servant and I want to be your N*****.”

In an interview about the ad, Greene says he used the word because it’s a part of American history and that he wants to talk about “real issues.”
